PCI-E 6 pin External power?

So i own a MSI Trident 3 world smallest gaming pc yet???

But it got 1 tiny flaw...it only got 1 PCI-E 6 pin power and with the recent new releases of mini series for gtx 1070 and 1080 i cannot upgrade to them.

I don't understand why the GTX 1070 need a 8 pin anyway since it only required 150w but ok that is for another topic that will come soon.

Now i am looking for external power to add either 1 or 2 6 pin or a 8 pin so i can mod the case to attach it external so i guess also searching for a plug for it to attach to the case.

 

Anyone ever heard or have seen something like this and yes i tried googling it but it let me to nowhere!

So i hope LTT forum can help me out.

in "semi-seriousness" you can like use 2 PSU's in franken-PC fashion, with like 24 pin adapters that short the power pins and shit, but why ???
